SEIZURE OF sEALERs.
The Rich Haul Made by the
Revenue Cutter Rush"
The END OF THE INQUIRY.
Awaiting the Decision in tha
Stanford Affair.
The Seizure of tho ssaiers.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1s.-The
steamer St. Paul, which arrived here
from Behring Sea, to-day, brought ad
ditional details of the seizure of the
British and American sealing schooners
by the revenue cutter Rush. Besides
the vessels mentioned by Captain Shop
pard in his official report to the Treas
ury Department, he also seized, on July
18th, the American schooner Lilly s., 1877
skins; August 9Th. the American
schooner AngeH Dolly, 178 skins; August
Tth, the American schooner Ann, $50
skins; August 7th, the British schooner
Ella, 800 skins August 7th, the
British schooner Alfred adams,
1,4OO skins. Four hundred and
forty-three Bealskins, which were
landed by the British at the warehouse
of Lynde & Hough. Papaf Island, were
also taken. 1t is estimated the az
gregste value OF the schooner's cargoes
and outfits seized by the Rush between
July 25th and August 7th will not be
much below 500 600, and the figure is
placed much higher by several good
authorities. Just before :the Angel
Dolly was seized, her captain, Alfred n.
TuRis, was killed by the accidental
discharge OF q rife which he was drag
ging across the deck. The seizure of
400 skins was made on one of the islands
ct Ounalsska while the season was at
its height. Acting on private in
formation. q force of men was sent
from the Rush and unearthed the skins,
which had been secured by the British
schooner EOttic Fairfield. The Rash was
under orders to leave for Pribilor
Islands at once. When the Dispatch
started for San Francisco, reports were
received that SIX or eight schooners
we're lowering about the islands killing
seals at every opportunity and defying
the employers of the ALASKA Com
mercial Company. The Rush was ex-
pected to gather these vessels in and
send them to Sitks with the others.

In the Commons.

LONDON, August 1s.-In the Com
mons, to-day, Lord George Hamilton'
First Lord of the Admiralty, replying
to Mr.. Baden Howell; said government
had made an arrangement with the
Penlnsular and Oriental Steamship
Company, by which the COM
pany would have three new
steamers and seven others ready as
armed cruisers For this the govern
ment would pay the Steamship Com
pany $23, 500 annually.
BalfOur's motion to accept the House
of Lords amendment was Carried-206
to 164.
After further debate on various
motions, three of the Lords amend
ments were rejected.
On Balfcur's motion Gibson, Attorney
General for Ireland. moved that the
house confirm Earl Cadogan's amend
ment, which provides that the revision
of the rents be based on the differences
on prices in 1887 as compared with
prices from 1881 to 1885. Parnen made
vigorous objection, and said that
government was moved to, adopt the
proposal in the House of Lords,
by the fact that certain Unionists
had left town, giving them free hands
in the House of Commons. Such con-
duct was contemplate, and Balfour
said such reflections On government
were unworthy any leader. Altar q
further spirited debate, Smith moved

A Bad Strike.

CITY OF, MExIoo, August 1S.-The
strike on the Mexican Central road
seriously interferes with the running of
trains. About Fifty engineers having
left their locomotives. The officials of
the road are hiring all competent men
that can be found. Freight will be kept
back from the United States until the
freight engines can be manned. It is
reported that some of the strikers now
regard the movement as bad blunder
and now the question is beginning to
be asked if Suter, who issued the order
for the strike, as chief of the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers of
Mexico, did not usurp authority be-
longing oDlv to Chief Arthur.
DENVER, Col, August 18.-An FL Paso
special to the Times from the City of
Mexico says: The strike has collapsed
on this end of the road. All passenger
and freight trains are running with
their accustomed regularity between
Mexico and OalaIa. and the business OF
the road is resumed. Strikers at San
Juan Del Rio endeavored to tamper
with the track and to intimidate the
engineers. They are being looked
after by the authorities of that place.
Rul al guards have been located at all
the terminal points, as far north as
Jimalco. and company of the Fiji
tenth Regiment will be stationed 81
Jen1enez to quell any interference at
that point. No more trouble need be
expected.

Tho Bear Supposed to be Lost.

BAN FRANCISCO. August l8.-The
steamer 81. Paul arrived from Behring
Sea to-day, and reports that great fears
are expressed in Ounalasks for the
safety of the United States revenue
cutter Bear, commanded by Captain
Msclay, and in the opinion of many it is
doubtful if she ever returns to Oun-
alaska, from which port she sailed on
June Doth. The Bear has acquired
one of the Greedy relief ships. She left
orders to look after the Arctic feet of
whslers, but soon after arriving at
bsd leak, and nd water poured
into her hold, Captain Healy
remained at Ounalaska in the early
days of June, and for ten days repairs
were made. She sprung leak again,
however, but it was determined to go
north, anyway, and beach for repairs if
possible. When she sailed she was
leaking and men had to be kept at the
pump. She was in no condition to proceed
north and battle with the ice, and grave
fears are felt for her. The season has
been late and cold beyond precedent.
The ice is farther down Behring than
ever. Up TO August 18th, nothing had
been heard of the steamer.
sac FRANCISCO, August Is. - The
steamer st. Paul, which arrived from
Ounslasks to-day, reports that the Of
fcers of the revenue cut er Bear, which
left there for st. Michael on June Goth,
we're under orders to take Fuller, the
of Archbishop Seghers, in
custody at that pace, and hold him till
he could be summoned before the
tribunal in autumn. AS the cruise of
the Bear was to extend to the Arctic,
where she was to protect the sealing
interests, Fuller is now probably on the
return trip unless the Bear has been
delayed by the leaking which has been
reported. His trial will be pushed
forward and speedy judgment is looked
for by those familiar with the circum-
stances attending the case.

A Fruit Famine.

CHICAGO, August 1S-The Tribune,
this morning, says fruit dealers have
been placed in an unprecedented
situation. Except in California, fruit
crops through the country have
virtually failed. In Chicago as else
where stocks of dried and preserved
goods are about exhausted, and owing
coast cannot be replaced. Although
wholesale prices here have risen from
10 to Is per cent. canned goods,
especially fruits. are apparently going
TO retail during the winter at fully so
per cant. above prices year previous.
According to the Tribune an increase
of % per cent. to California's last year
pack will not be enough to prevent the
threatened famine in the east.
There is no branch of trade in
Chicago to-day that is in a more
feverlsh and unsettled condition than
canned goods. 1t became evident over
month ago that the packs" of GER
tain kinds of fruits, as cherries, straw
berries and currants, were going to be
very light, very few places east of the
Mississippi River having exceeded the
ordinary demand for fresh fruit. Berry
after berry disappointed the grower
until at last hopes were confined IN this
part of the country to grapes. peaches
and apples. Now it is known, or at
least generally suspected, that these
growers are also to be disappointed.
The East has had an abundance of
rain. but it is an off year for apples in
small and of poor quality. The grape
nf
West and South nave suffered from the
drouth, which has ruined the prospects
Of these fruits, and Eastern crops are
not much more than enough to supply
the home demand. 1t Is not wonderful,
therefore, that the dealers in canned
fruits are both active and anxious.
Thy are suddenly called to face
81 uation which was entirely unexpected
two months ago. Then they were bend

Marriage and Divorce!

New YORK, August 16.-A Chicago
divorce plays an important part il
marital imbroglio here, in which 6
massage operator named ]. E. johnson
was purchased from his first wife, with
whom he had been living, though as be
claimed divorced, by Miss Sarah A.
Robbins, an heiress, who subsequently
married Johnson. Mrs. Johnson No. 9
in 1871, was left a fortune of nearly
$3.50, 600 by her father, David Robbins,
builder. She was also given life in
terest in $4,000 by her aunt, with a re-
version to her lawful children. The de-
velopments now come in suit brought
by Lawyer Malcolm, to collect bill
for $4,000 incurred for legal services.
He says Miss Robbins, after her father S
death, went to live at the Buckingham
Hotel on Fifth Avenue, where her
brother and his wife were. She had
been there but little while when John.
son was called In to attend her in his
capacity as massager. He lived at the
Windsor, three blocks away, and used
to run 10 frequently. She became in
fatuated with him and found that her
love was reciprocated. He told her that
the woman he was living with had no
claims on him, though he had been
married to her, divorce having subse-
quently dissolved the legal tie,
and he was simply living with
her to educate his children.
Miss Robbins was puzzled what to
do in this complication and went to
Lawyer Malcolm for advice. Mr.. NAL
colin says he advised her against mar
rying the man with the Chicago divorce
and the nominal wife. Her brother had
before this got intimation of how things
were going and one day he paid visit
to Mrs. Johnson at the window and
asked her about the Illinois divorce. 1t
is asserted that sic privately denied
that Johnson had secured an
Illinois divorce or any other
kind of separation from her,
and got considerably excited. The
infatuated pair finally skipped
of to Europe together and were mar
ried there. 1t was while they were
away TO Europe that negotiations were
filed to induce Mrs. Johnson No. l to
give up her first lien on DR.. Johnson in
favor Of the. New York investor. Law
yer Augustus Prentiss was counsel for
DR.. Johnson's first wife on the one
hand, and Charles H. Reed was the
lawyer who was engaged TO arrange the
matter On behalf of DR.. Johnson and
Miss Robbins. The scheme was to get
the first wife to go to Chicago and
secure something tangible in the
way of divorce that would al
low Miss Robbins and DR.. John
son to marry legally in this
state. Mrs. Johnson agreed to do her
part for 100000, and wen; to Chicago
and got the divorce and the money. |
Word was sent to DIR. johnson, in
Europe, that the divorce had been Sc
cured, and he and the heiress came
home speedily and were married again
IN this city. johnson and the defend
ant are said to be living at Rutland,
Vermont. Johnson's first wife is re
ported to be in Europe with, her child
